Support Goal 2: Campus Vitality

Our focus at the University of Northern Iowa is on the flourishing of our campus community in all aspects of our operations and personal and professional lives. Along with advancing the intellectual and academic abilities of students, UNI provides a holistic approach to student development focused on their social, emotional, and intellectual well-being. Likewise, faculty and staff are offered professional development opportunities that allow us to celebrate excellence and advance continuous learning. And with a commitment to sustainability, the campus community is provided a state-of-the-art working environment that uses resources wisely.

Enhance resource and facility development to provide an enriched campus life experience, which is both environmentally and fiscally responsible.
